How to Turn Failure into Opportunity

There are plenty of times in any professional's career where you you make an investment, you bet on something, and it doesn't work out. And, you know, the human reaction to that is to feel dejected. The human reaction to that is to sort of succumb to failure. And I would say that, you know, you you're about to close a loan, a hundred million dollar loan, a billion dollar loan, you're about to uh acquire a property, and then something goes wrong. An investor falls out at the last minute. Um you know, the the lender says they want terms that you didn't anticipate. Uh a tenant's supposed to sign a lease, they don't sign a lease. I think having the awareness that it's not just you. If you just are limited to your own capabilities, you're screwed. You're dead in the water. But, if you realize that the only way you got here in the first instance was with the help of God. You have, again, that gear to go into, and that is optimism. And that is taking your own initiative and trying to make a success out of a failure. And many times when you look back in retrospect, you can see that that failure is what actually gave you an opportunity for much greater success that you didn't even envision before.
